Digipak Front Cover - Editing the Photos

After looking through all the photos we took, we narrowed our choices down from the 60 photos to this particular one. This is the photograph we decided we would use for our front cover of the digipak as it looked like a good posing shot for a front cover and we all agreed it was the most suitable choice as it had space at the top, bottom and around the edges to fit in text for the band name etc.

We began the editing process by firstly using Adobe Fireworks to greyscale the background to make the colours of our outfits pop out more and we enhanced that even more by boosting the saturation and contrast. This is how the image turned out...

We were very happy with the way this looked so we carried on to cropping the photo to the appropriate size for the digipak.

After cropping it to 12 x 12cm we could then see where we could add in the text and where it would fit. We wanted to include the band name and album name and managed to fit these both at the top and bottom which is where we first intended to place them.
